I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Carol's Point of View-
I felt someone climbing into the bed with me and I automatically jumped out of the bed in shock and screamed bloody murder.
"Jesus Christ, give me a heart attack why don't you!" Jeff said throwing his hand over his heart.
"You! You gave me one as well, didn't your dad ever tell you not to do that to a girl, climbing into their bed without a warning. What would Beth think?" I asked in a loud manner trying to calm down from being frightened.
"I didn't think that you would react like that." Jeff said getting off the bed.
"What are you doing here and in my bed for that matter?"
"I came over to make you go for a jog with Beth and I."
"Who said I would want to go for a jog?" I asked.
"Come on, it'll be fun and it's exercise."
"But I run slow and I will just hold you two back."
"We don't care, we'll run slow with you." Jeff said.
"Fine, I'll go, just let me get into clothes that I could run in." I said.
"I can't stay and watch, you got to see my goods."
"No, get out." I said as I was pushing him towards the door.
"We'll be waiting." Jeff said as I went to my drawers digging out sweat pants and a tank top, odd yes, but it's something I work out in. I changed and pulled on tennis shoes, I walked out, Beth and Jeff were stretching and Jeff was bending over and his back side facing me, I walked up behind him and smacked him on the ass then ran away. "OW! You got force." Jeff said standing up quickly rubbing his ass.
"What can I say?" I asked shrugging my shoulders, I started stretching as well, Matt walked down the stairs with his hair all messed up.
"Why are you fuckers doing in my house at 8 AM and up at this god awful time?" Matt asked.
"We're going for a jog, you want to come?" Beth asked.
"No, I'm going back to bed, come on Lucas." Matt said as Lucas followed Matt up to his room.
"He's not a morning person." I said.
"Neither are you, I'm surprised your up." Beth said.
"Do you know what your husband did? After what he did, I can't go back to sleep." I said, Beth just glared at Jeff.
"Why are you looking at me? I climbed into her bed with her like I always do to you when you won't get up." Jeff said.
"You didn't…" Beth said.
"No, I wouldn't do that to her." Jeff said.
"I would ask, but I could only imagine those answers and I'm just glad you didn't do whatever it was." I said as I started doing jumping jacks.
"Don't wear yourself out with those." Beth said, I stopped.
"How far are we running?" I asked.
"Half mile." Jeff said.
"Half mile?" I asked shocked.
"Yes, half mile, you can do it." Beth said.
"Right, have 9-1-1 on speed dial, I might pass out from this." I said as I grabbed a water bottle from the refrigerator.
"We ready to go?" Jeff asked.
"You owe me." I said as I followed them out of the house and Jeff locked the door behind us.
"Just follow us, and just go as fast as you can and if you need to walk or take a break let us know." Beth said.
"I don't get why I need to be jogging." I said.
"It will help with your confidence and self-image." Jeff said.
"Fine, let's go." I said as we started jogging in a certain direction, we got back to Matt's about noon, I was breathing heavy and I flopped onto the couch with my feet hanging over the arm of the couch and I had my arms laying above my head. "Call 9-1-1, I think I'm going to die." I said.
"You are not going to die, just drink some more water and eat something healthy to get nutrients back in." Beth said as she sat on the other arm of the couch.
"UGH! I just sat down." I complained, Jeff sat down on my stomach, "OW! Get off me!" I said hitting him and trying to kick him.
"Not until you promise you will get up and eat something with us." Jeff said.
"No, you can go to your own house and eat." I said still kicking and hitting.
"I'm not getting up until you say yes." Jeff said as he started shaking his butt and scooted back some.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Getting comfy, it might be a while." He said.
"Fine, get up so we can go eat something." I said, he got up and he helped me up.
"You know, if we weren't married, I would say you two should be." Beth said sipping her water.
"Ew, don't make me lose my appetite." I joked.
"You know you only wish you could have me." Jeff said.
"Used too, not anymore." I said as I heard my phone ringing from my other room, I ran into my room picking it up. "Hello?" I asked.
"Where have you been?" Jerry asked.
"Out jogging with Jeff and Beth." I said.
"You jog?"
"Shocking, yes, it shocked me, Jeff and Beth are trying to help change my confidence and self image and by that, they are helping me lose weight. Anyways, what's up?" I asked.
"I totally forgot why I was calling in the first place." Jerry said.
"Oh."
"Anyways, could I have one of their numbers so if there is an emergency and I can't get a hold of you I can call them?" Jerry asked.
"Your not just wanting their numbers because of who they are?"
"No, it's just you have all my friends numbers just in case of an emergency, and I don't have any for yours. I have your mom and dad's, but I know never to call them and rest of your friends have no idea where your at now, I'm the only link between you and them." Jerry said, he's got a point, he's like the only family I have, even though we're not related and Beth and Jeff are getting close to be consider as family.
"Let me ask, I can't just give their numbers away." I said.
"Okay, ask them and text me later with the numbers."
"Will do, and if you remember what you needed call me back."
"Will do, love you."
"Love you too." I said hanging up, I think that is a good thing that Jerry and I were best friends, we were like brother and sister before we dated, I think maybe that's why it didn't work out. I took my phone out to the living room area and from where I was standing I could see Jeff and Beth in the kitchen looking through the cabinets. "Do you do this normally? Raiding Matt's cabinets when he's asleep?" I asked.
"We pay him back." Beth said.
"Okay…..anyway, my friend Jerry wants to know if I could give him your phone numbers just in case he can't get a hold of me in case of emergency you know?" I asked nervously.
"Yeah, you can give him mine." Beth said.
"And mine." Matt said walking down the stairs with Lucas not far behind him, Lucas excitedly ran up to me and sniffed my leg and was jumping up and down trying to get me to pick him up.
"Thanks." I said, I texted Jerry the two numbers.
"Raiding my cabinets again, you do know I got to save food for tonight's party." Matt said.
"We don't eat that much." Beth said when Jerry called.
"Remembered what you needed?" I asked as Beth and Matt were arguing over the food, Jeff was following me around along with Lucas, Jeff was trying to tickle me for some odd reason.
"You want to do lunch?" Jerry asked.
"Now?"
"No, three weeks from now, yes now."
"Um…." I said turning around to see Jeff wiggling his fingers at me.
"I bet I can make you squeal like a piggy." Jeff said, I kicked him lightly in the thigh.
"Who was that?" Jerry asked as Jeff squealed in pain.
"Don't ask, um…" I said as Beth and Matt turned their attention to us, "Yeah, where you going to be at?"
"I was looking at something simple like Subway since I have to save money."
"Sure, I'll be there soon, the usual one?"
"No other one I would go too." Jerry said hanging up, we always go to this certain Subway, it was the one my sister used to work at and we just continued going there even after the incident, it's like a ritual to us.
"What's going on?" Beth asked.
"I'm going out for lunch." I said.
"Your just going to gain the weight you lost back." Jeff said rubbing the spot I kicked.
"Sorry for kicking you, but you deserved it, anyway, I'm going to Subway, it's not like I'm going to eat like freaking McDonalds or anything." I said.
"Subway is healthy, get an healthy sandwich." Matt said.
"What sandwich isn't healthy there?" I said.
"You know what I mean, look at the calories and what not." Matt said, I jumped into the shower taking a quick one just to wash the sweat off mainly, getting dressed into something better than sweats and grabbed my purse, phone and keys.
"I'll be back later, and when I get back we'll make those cookies Matt." I said.
"Cookies? Those aren't healthy." Jeff said.
"Hey, I'm fat, I got to keep something non-healthy in my diet and I can't cut EVERYTHING out at once." I said as I petted Lucas lightly before I opened the door and walked out to my car, I realized the U-Haul has been detached and I walked back into Matt's house, "Who detached the U-Haul from my car?" I asked confused.
"I did earlier while you were out jogging, I thought it might be a nice action." Matt said.
"Thanks." I said.
"No problem." Matt said, I walked back out and got into my car driving up to Subway, Jerry was leaning against his car waiting for me.
"Finally, what took you so long?" Jerry asked.
"Sorry, I had to take a quick shower to wash the sweat off." I said as I hugged him.
"How are you enjoying living with Matt?" Jerry asked as we walked into the Subway.
"I only lived there for one night, but it has been fun." I said smiling.
"Who said I'm going make you squeal like a piggy earlier?"
"Jeff, him and I have this weird relationship, we always try to outdo the other one, it's weird." I said.
"What about his wife?"
"She sits there and watches and encourages it sometimes."
"I need to see this sometime."
"Well, Raw is in South Carolina Monday if you want to drive down there."
"I might have too, only if you could get me backstage or something."
"I might be able to, but I am not sure." I said, I don't know if I want him backstage, especially with Lindsey. We ordered our sandwiches and we sat down eating them. "How do you like staying at Rico's?" I asked.
"Odd, I haven't stayed at his house since high school when I stayed there only after football games or wrestling meets."
"Yeah, that must be odd."
"Very much so." Jerry said when my phone started ringing from Matt.
"Excuse me for a moment." I said standing up and walked outside, "Yes Matt?" I asked.
"While your out, could you pick up some stuff at the store for me?"
"Like what?" I asked.
"I'll text it to you so you won't forget anything."
"Alright." I said hanging up with him and went back inside with Jerry, "Sorry about that, Matt wants me to go to the store for him."
"Dude, why can't he go by himself?"
"He's lazy, lazier than me." I said.
"Perfect match huh?"
"Don't say that."
"Why not?"
"I don't know." I said.
"You like him?"
"As a friend, it's a long story okay?"
"Okay, so how is tour so far?"
"Okay I guess, I mean, there is a few things I can go without, but I can deal with it." I said shrugging as I took a bite of my sandwich.
"So, the South Carolina show they are going to announce the first two contestants that are going to be cut, that's big?"
"Yeah, I don't care if I win or not."
"Why? You were so excited about winning and going to show everyone what you could do."
"I know, but I don't want to get my hopes up, you could understand that right?" I asked.
"Yeah, I can understand that." Jerry said as a little boy and a little girl, you could obviously tell the boy was older, walked up to us with their dad.
"Sorry to interrupt, but are you Carol from the WWE Diva search contest?" The father said.
"Yes I am, don't worry about it, what could I do for you?" I asked wiping my mouth with my napkin.
"We voted for you!" The boy said excitedly.
"You did? Thanks so much. Give me a hug." I said opening my arms for him to hug me and he did.
"May we get a photo and autograph?" The father asked.
"Yes." I said, I looked over at Jerry and mouthed 'Sorry.' He shrugged his shoulders and continued eating his sandwich. I signed autographs and snapped photos with them. "I got to get going, I have to get to the store and back to Matt's before people show up for his party tonight."
"I got to get back to work anyway." Jerry said, I wrapped up rest of my sandwich and I picked up my drink and we walked out to his car which was directly in front of the restaurant.
"I'll call you tomorrow or Monday with information about Monday's show." I said.
"Tomorrow preferably, I might drive down there instead of flying."
"I have to fly, but have fun at work and tell Rico I said hi." I said hugging him.
"Will do, be safe." Jerry said.
